Relationships of Type 2 Diabetes and Five Inputs of Bmi, Whr, Food Portion, Exercise and Sleep Using Viscoplastic Energy Model of Gh-Method: Math-Physical Medicine

Abstract

Gerald C Hsu

According to various studies and health organizations, approximately 80-90% of individuals with type 2 diabetes are overweight or obese. Additionally, excess adipose tissue, especially abdominal or visceral fat (WHR greater than 0.95 for men and greater than 0.8 for women), can contribute to insulin resistance—a key factor in type 2 diabetes development.

Pathophysiologically, type 2 diabetes (T2D) is directly linked to body weight. Furthermore, both body weight (assessed through BMI and WHR) and blood glucose levels closely connect to diet, exercise, and sleep. Concerning body weight, the significance lies in food portion more than meal quality, while the type of food and meal quality influence more on both blood pressure and cholesterol.

This study explores the author's T2D conditions via his measured daily averaged glucose levels (eAG), associated with five inputs: BMI, WHR, food portion, walking steps, and sleep score. The data is drawn from personal records collected between 1/1/2013 and 11/30/2023. In this article, obesity assessment considers both body weight and waist-to-hip ratio (WHR). Although the author often used body weight or BMI in his previous medical studies, WHR, a newly introduced variable, reflects visceral fat (i.e., belly fat in the abdominal area), associated with insulin resistance and an increased risk of T2D.
